The Expedition of Osiris: Cross-cultural Mythology and Identity Politics in Ptolemaic Egypt

Xu Xiaoxu（Renmin University of China）

Abstract The Greek historian Diodorus of Sicily of the 1st century BC, in his Historical Library 1.17- 20, narrates a myth about Osiris, king of Egypt, who goes on an expedition around the world while spreading civilization along his way. The characters in this myth of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations include Egyptians and Greeks, and the locations cover Europe, Asia and Africa. An analysis of the myth from multiple perspectives shows that it should have been invented by the authority of Hellenistic Egypt in the reign of Ptolemy I and that it constituted part of the identity politics of the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Key words Osiris; Dionysus; Alexander; Macedon; Ptolemaic Egypt; cross-cultural communication; exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations
